Currently objects can evolve themselves in their __setstate__ method. The pack operation doesn't really know much about objects and their classes, just records and transactions. I'd like to point out that a __setstate__ method, like a __str__ method, cannot be created in a ZClass. Any particular reason why? How about providing the functionality of a super-"Renderable Base Z-Class" automatically to all ZClasses by creating default __str__, __setstate__, etc. methods that map to valid DTML method names? -- Stephen Pitts smpitts@midsouth.rr.com webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
